Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life
Posted on July 29, 2016 by Susanne Swanson
Hey there. It’s me. Tiger, the handsome tabby and therapy cat. What’s that, you say? Therapy Cat?? Okay, so maybe I’m not officially “certified” (yes there is such a thing.) I don’t visit nursing homes like some of my cousins. Or hospitals. Or prisons. (Well, I have been to jail but that’s a different story!)
Certified or not, I can make you feel better! Watch me sleep and hear me purr and you will instantly relax. Pet me and lower your blood pressure.
More importantly, I will listen to you. Yes, you heard right.
I am a great listener.
We cats hear it all and keep it to ourselves. The words you say when you think you’re alone. The words you don’t say. We can read you with our “feline sense.”
Yes, it’s true. Give me a minute here and I’ll show you what I mean. Just say anything. Go ahead. Anything. I’ll respond.

Sue, wonderful captures of Tiger’s expressive nuances! And Tiger: You know you are admired, and I think you can reach out with your catsense and feel a comaraderie with Effie. ^..^
thank you! Tiger is quite the expressive therapy kitty!
It is well-proven that interacting with pets is beneficial to health. Well done, Tiger.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks Pete.
This cat is great and the photos are really nice.
Thank you from both of us!
It’s a pleasure.

Before there was Benji, Tiger was the star of this blog and this is what he had to say a few years ago.
